A few wintry days and frigid mornings are likely for the region after a strong cold front pushed through the area.

The Norther rushed through the region and raced off the coast by early Monday morning, sparking rain showers throughout the area. Most areas recorded between about a half of an inch and an inch of rainfall overnight.

The front, packed with chilly air and gusty north wind, is likely to drop overnight low temperatures to near freezing for the next few days, said Chris McKinney, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

The wintry blast will break the recent unseasonable heat that has gripped the area, McKinney said.

"It actually feels like it's December, real winter," he said.

On Monday, the high will top out near 52 degrees. Cloudy skies early in the morning will probably gradually clear and the sun will peek out. A 20 percent chance of showers is possible before about 9 a.m.

Breezy north winds will be between 15 mph and 20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. A wind advisory is in effect until about noon. The overnight low will be about 34 degrees.

The chilly air lingers in the area Tuesday when the high will struggle to about 53 degrees under sunny skies. North winds will be 5 mph to 10 mph. The overnight low will be about 32.

On Wednesday, the high will be near 58. The low will be about 37.

The mercury climbs on Thursday. The high will be near 62 degrees. The low will be about 53.

Temperatures continue to climb on Friday. The high will be about 69. Clouds will likely build above the area and a 20 percent chance of showers is possible. The low will be near 60.

Saturday may be wet as a mild front approaches the region. The high will be near 74. A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms may be possible. The low will be about 46 after the weak cool front arrives.

On Sunday, the high will be about 62 degrees under mostly sunny skies. No rain is forecast.
